Lets say you want to learn Pentatonic minor scale. First you will need to learn all 5 of its pattern shapes in the key of “a”. When you are already familiar with these pattern shapes, and you can play them on your guitar, go to: Settings tab / Scale Names and select Pentatonic minor only. In Settings tab / Keys make sure all keys are selected. Now, go to the Practice tab and press the random generator button. It will generate a pentatonic minor scale in a random key and pattern for you, e.g.: g Pentatonic minor – 3rd pattern. Practice the scale pattern on your guitar for a min. of 20 minutes, and maximum 1 hour. Next day go to the Practice tab again and generate a new scale pattern for yourself, e.g.: c Pentatonic minor – 4th pattern. Continue like this every day, for about a month. After one month of practicing, you will gain a good knowledge of the Pentatonic minor scale in all keys, and you will feel comfortable with it on your guitar’s fretboard. If you are already familiar with couple of scales and all their patterns, e.g.: Pentatonic minor, Pentatonic Major, Blues or Major (Ionian), select all these scales in the Settings tab and use the random generator in the Practice tab to generate a random scale with random key and pattern to practice any patterns from among these scales. Naturally, you can create any combination of scales and keys for practice.

Patterns are always arranged according to the patterns order in base “C” key or “a” key. In all keys of one scale, pattern shapes remain the same as in the base key, they are only shifted on the fretboard. When a user learns pattern shapes of a scale in the base key, he will automatically know all the pattern shapes in all keys, they will only be shifted on the fretboard according to the current key, e.g.: 1st pattern shape of a Pentatonic minor starts on the fifth fret of the fretboard, while the 1st pattern shape of e Pentatonic minor starts on the 9th fret. The ninth fret is not at the beginning of the fretboard, but using this approach of keeping the pattern numbers for shapes in different keys, simplify the learning curve for pattern shapes of a scale.

★★★★★ Print out.
Awesome app. Being able to print out the scales as a PDF is a big plus

Jeff Petroff

★★★★★ Good App.
I'm enjoying this app it has easy fingering and shows you your root notes in each scale!! Plus you've all the modes!! I wish I would've found this app when I first started learning guitar! Not everyone who says they can teach can and the same goes for guitarist who write books. Some people are in it for the love of how much money they can make off people! As for those who really love music and teaching guitar my hat goes off too you!!! Just so many dishonest individuals out there making learning guitar harder than it really is!! DOG(DEPEND ON GOD) not men!! Good day mate!!!

★★★★★ This is crazy hot.
I been looking for you where have you been all my guitar life App, but seriously I have been looking at scale charts and trying to figure the pentatonic scales out for some time now and this made it happen really great top notch App what I really needed and more worth every bit of what I payed for it.

Eric IQ

★★★★★ Great app for intermediate level guitarist!!
If you're into learning scales, this app will play tons of them, show you fingering on the fretboard, and allow you to "pluck" them out manually. Nice graphics and several different approaches to help you become proficient with scales.
